hi KoKo,

MSN, and most other free photo album sites will block you from hot-linking to the pictures you have posted there. That's what it's called when you use the img tags (either html or vB) to have a picture that's on another website show up here. Having a simple link isn't the same, because that takes you to the actual website where the pic is posted.

I've given a more detailed explanation about hot-linking images in this post .. Important Information: posting pictures, attachments and image linking

hth,

Doreen
